It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that he said: We went to Hazrat Umar, and he asked, "How is your life?" We replied, "Among those people who fear the Dajjal, we are the most prosperous and flourishing." Hazrat Umar said, "What I fear for you more than the Dajjal is 'harj'." Masruq says, "I asked, 'What is harj?'" He replied, "Killing—to the extent that a man will kill his own father."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, and after me, no one among you will narrate that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Indeed, among the signs of the Day of Judgment is that knowledge will be taken away, ignorance will become apparent, wine will be consumed, and adultery will become widespread. Men will decrease and women will increase in number.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh that he said: Surely, you will be tested with the trial of hardship, so be patient, and soon you will be tested with the trial of ease. And indeed, of all the things I fear for you, I fear most the trial of women: when they will be adorned with gold bangles and wear fine cloth from Syria, they will exhaust the wealthy and hold the poor responsible for things they do not possess.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have not left any trial after me more harmful to men than women."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood that he said: The signs that have been mentioned have passed except for four: the rising of the sun from the west, the emergence of Dajjal, the beast of the earth, and the emergence of Gog and Magog. He said: The sign upon which deeds will come to an end is the rising of the sun from the west. Have you not heard the statement of Allah, the Exalted: "On the day when your Lord's sign comes, faith will not benefit a soul who had not believed before" (up to the end of the Ayah).

It is narrated from Hasan that the Prophet of Allah, Hazrat Musa, asked his Lord to show him that animal. It was said that the animal came out for three days, and not even one side of it was visible. Hasan said that Hazrat Musa submitted, "O my Lord, return it." So it was returned.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A beast will emerge twice before the Day of Judgment, to the extent that at the time of its emergence, men will be killed. Then it will emerge a third time and will come to the people of the largest mosque among your mosques, at a time when they will be gathered around one man. Then the beast will say: Who has gathered you with the enemy of Allah? The people will hurry, and the beast will mark the disbeliever, to the extent that when two men engage in a transaction, one will say, "Take it, O believer," and the other will say, "Take it, O disbeliever."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr that he said: A beast will emerge from the direction of the Ji'ad mountain during the days of Tashreeq while people will be in Mina. He said: This is the reason why the first among the pilgrims to arrive is prayed for, as he brings the people safely.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr that he said: From the crack of Safa, an animal will emerge, and in the time it takes a horse to run for three days, not even one-third of it will have emerged.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Zar’ah that he said: Three men from among the Muslims were sitting with Marwan bin Hakam. They heard him speaking about the signs, saying that the first sign among the signs is the emergence of Dajjal. Those people went to Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr and related to him what they had heard from Marwan bin Hakam about the signs, that the first sign is the emergence of Dajjal. Hazrat Abdullah said: Marwan has not said anything (correct). I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that the first sign among the signs to appear will be the rising of the sun from the west or the emergence of the Beast upon the people at forenoon, and whichever of these two signs appears before the other, the other will soon follow it. Then Hazrat Abdullah said: They used to read the books, and I think that the first of these two signs will be the rising of the sun from the west, and this is because whenever it sets, it comes under the Throne and seeks permission to rise again, and it is granted permission to rise again, until when Allah wills that it should rise from the west, it will come under the Throne and prostrate, and will seek permission to return, but it will not be answered. Then it will return and seek permission to return, but it will not be answered. Then it will return and seek permission to return, but it will not be answered, until as much of the night passes as Allah wills, and the sun realizes that if it is given permission, it will not reach the east. Then it will say: O my Lord, how far is the east! The sun will say: O my Lord, who is there for me among the people? Until when the horizon becomes bright, as if it is a collar, it will seek permission to return, and it will be said to it: Your place of rising is obligatory upon you. So it will rise upon the people from the west. Then Hazrat Abdullah recited this verse:“On the day when any sign of your Lord comes, no soul will benefit from its faith if it had not believed before or had earned some good through its faith.”__QUR_N__
